Wallpaper and Flowers

Last week I was challenged to make a card using a technique my fellow coach called "wallpaper". I'm not sure if that's the correct terminology but it sounded good. We were to make our own background pattern for our card. I had quick thoughts on this!

I used a variety of stamp sets but only 1 ink color. I love monochromatic cards and this works great! I started by spritzing the card base with Watermelon Fusion Splash.

I stamped my Whip Cream card stock with this flower image from the Lead Me set and did 2nd generation stamping with the Ink Splat stamp. I ran this piece through my crimper 4 different directions twice each. I then used my creaser to flatten it as much as possible. This really added a linen-like feel and gives a bit of a vintage look. After mounting the "wallpaper" on Watermelon Fusion card stock I tied the Watermelon Fusion Ribbon around it, I pop dotted it to the card base. I stamped the text from the set Little BIG Greetings, layered it and used the heart element from the Fun Day Elements. I love how this turned out!
